After back to back heart breakers the Sixers had to have a win tonight to avoid falling into a true tailspin. That would be no easy task as they welcomed Deron Williams and Utah Jazz, winners the last 6 times these teams met, to the Wells Fargo center. Fortunately Andre Iguodala was on his game again with 22 points on 8 of 10 shooting. Elton Brand also had 19 and 8 rebounds and Lou Williams was huge off the bench again with 20. Aside from that the Sixers played some great D, with 12 steals, 3 blocks, and great perimeter D. In short the Sixers were able to get stops time and time again while the Jazz could not.
Thank's to Utah's inability to make stops the Sixers were really in control all night. After the 1st quarter they led by 4. At the half they led by 6. After 3 quarters they led by 7. Finally in the 4th after a couple stops and fast breaks they pulled ahead by double digits before winning easily by 11, 96-85. With the win the Sixers move to 18-25 overall and from 9th back up to 7th in the Eastern conference. Believe it.
